Copyright © 2015 Nortek Security & Control LLC 12GIG-DW10-345THIN DOOR/WINDOW CONTACTINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSThe Thin Door/Window Contact (2GIG‐DW10‐345) is designed for useon doors, windows, and other objects that open and close. Itcommunicates with the control panel using the 345 MHz frequency.When the magnet (which is mounted near the sensor) moves awayfrom or closer to the door contact’s sensor, signals are transmitted tothe control panel. The door contact also has an external input thataccepts connections from Normally‐Closed (NC) dry contact devices.For added protection, it is also equipped with a cover tamper.Figure 1 Thin Door/Window Contact—Sensor and MagnetBox ContentsVerify that the package includes the following:• 1—Thin Door/Window Contact• 1—Rare Earth Magnet• 2—Phillips Head Screws• 2—Lithium Coin Batteries• 2—Adhesive Foam Tape• 1—12 in (30 cm) Wire LeadTesting the Thin Door/Window ContactBefore mounting the door contact at the desired location, perform awalk test to verify that it can establish good Radio Frequency (RF)communications with the control panel.NOTE: To fully test the Thin Door/Window Contact, see thecontrol panel’s Installation and Programming Guide.Mounting GuidelinesUse these guidelines when installing the door contact for internalswitch usage:• Mount Sensors within 100 ft (30 m) of the Control Panel.Although the transmitter may have a range of 350 ft (106.7 m)open air, the sensor location can have a significant effect onrange. In open/unobstructed situations, the transmitter rangemay be greater. In adverse wireless conditions, changing thesensor orientation may lead to improved range.• Mount Sensors at Least 4.7 in (12 cm) Above the Floor.Placing sensors slightly above floor level helps to minimizepossible sensor damage.• Single vs. Double Door Installation. For single‐doorinstallation, mount the sensor on the door frame and themagnet on the door. For double‐door installation, mount thesensor on the least‐used door and the magnet on the most‐used door.• Do Not Expose Sensors to Moisture or Extreme Temperature.It is best to mount sensors in a dry location where theoperating temperature do not exceed 32° to 120° F (0° to 49°C).• Keep Sensors and Magnets Away from Metal/MetallicSurfaces. To keep sensors and magnets away from metal ormetallic surfaces (for example, foil wallpaper), it isrecommended that you use spacers (not included). You shouldalso avoid mounting sensors in areas where there is a largequantity of metal or electrical wiring (for example, near afurnace or in a utility room).• Align Magnet with Sensor. Make sure the alignment arrow onthe magnet points to the center alignment mark on the sensor(see Figure 1 Thin Door/Window Contact—Sensor andMagnet).Mounting the Thin Door/Window ContactUse the figure below as a guideline when mounting the door contact.In step 7 below, you have the option to mount the door contact withan external input wire for an NC dry contact device.Figure 2 Thin Door/Window Contact—Backplate and Battery CompartmentTo mount the door contact:1 At the top of the sensor, press down on the clip to unlock thesensor’s backplate. Then, gently pull down on the backplate toremove it.2 On the backplate, drill‐through top and bottom mounting holes ifneeded (see Figure 2 Thin Door/Window Contact—Backplate andBattery Compartment).3 Holding the backplate location, place the bottom mounting holeas follows:• Single Door Installation. At the desired location on the doorframe.• Double Door Installation. At the desired location on the least‐used door.A Thin Door/Window Contact SensorB Thin Door/Window Contact MagnetC Alignment Marks on SensorD Alignment Arrow on MagnetA Access hole for external input wire (on backplate)B Top and bottom mounting holes (on backplate)C External input wire jack (on sensor)D Tamper switch (on sensor)E 3‐Volt (3V) lithium coin battery compartments (on sensor)F Metal clips for removing batteries (on sensor) |
